In the running Fancied candidates for the party leadership

♦boris Johnson Age: 54 Odds: 6/1 He is the most recognisable of the pack who want to succeed Theresa May. The former foreign secretary admitted this week that he regrets pulling out of the 2016 leadership race. ♦sajid Javid

Age: 49 Odds: 6/1 A free-market Thatcherite Conservative, the Home Secretary has seen his stock fall over his handling of the migrant crisis. ♦jeremy Hunt

Age: 52 Odds: 8/1 The Foreign Secretary’s sure handling of his

foreign affairs brief and his admission that he now backs Leave make him a more credible unity candidate than Amber Rudd. ♦dominic Raab

Age: 44 Odds: 8/1 A prominent Leaver whose stock has risen on the back of his brief time as Brexit secretary. ♦michael Gove

Age: 51 Odds: 12/1 The reputation of the former Vote Leave chairman has recovered from his decision to withdraw support for Boris Johnson in the 2016 leadership election thanks

to his war on plastic. ♦amber Rudd

Age: 55 Odds: 16/1 The Work and Pensions Secretary is a favourite among moderate and Remain Conservative supporters as a unity candidate. But her 346-vote majority in her Hastings and Rye seat means she could be out of Parliament after the next general election. ♦jacob Reesmogg Age: 49 Odds: 16/1 He could stand if Boris Johnson pulled out. Mr Rees-mogg is a grassroots favourite who is

beloved for his Eurosceptism. ♦penny Mordaunt

Age: 45 Odds: 20/1 The International Development Secretary is a rising star and supported the Prime Minister’s deal last night. ♦david Davis

Age: 70 Odds: 25/1 After quitting the Cabinet in July, the former Brexit secretary – who lost against David Cameron in 2005 – has been trying to force through a hard exit from the EU.
